The CLI has been broken since v0.17.0 because cli/src/index.ts imports `../package.json` (resolved relative to cli/build/index.js), but cli/package.json was not listed in the root package.json `files` array and therefore excluded from the published npm tarball. This caused ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND when users ran the CLI from a directory where `../package.json` exists relative to their CWD (triggering the fs.existsSync fallback path to use the module-relative import). Fixes modelcontextprotocol#1503

Problem
The CLI (
--climode) has been broken since v0.17.0 through v0.22.0. Running the inspector CLI from certain working directories fails with:Root Cause
cli/src/index.tsimports../package.json(resolved relative tocli/build/index.js→cli/package.json), butcli/package.jsonis not in the rootpackage.jsonfilesarray, so it's excluded from the published npm tarball.The existing fallback (
fs.existsSynccheck added in #839) resolves the path relative to CWD rather than the module file, so when the user's CWD happens to have a../package.json(common — any npm project subdirectory), the check passes but the ESMimport()resolves to the missingcli/package.json.Fix
Add
"cli/package.json"to thefilesarray. This ensures the file is included in the published tarball, making the module-relative import always succeed regardless of the user's CWD.Verification
